Doyle Hard with a Vengeance

On a nice summer's day Jake gets a call from the RNC requesting that he head down to HQ for an important meeting. At the meeting Leslie informs Jake that an unnamed caller has threatened to blow up a school if Jake doesn't go to Shea Heights wearing a sandwich board that says "I Hate Skeets." Although Jake is somewhat apprehensive about such an undertaking he realizes that the lives of all of those summer school kids are likely collectively more valuable than his own life.

Not long after escaping from a shower of glass bottles in Shea Heights Jake is thrust into a series of life-or-death challenges, all the while not really knowing why he seems to be the target of an evil plot.

After several hours of gruelling and dangerous tasks (all just to save a few future dropouts) Jake starts to wonder what is going on. Fortunately for Jake, he soon figures out that this all ties into the case he solved in Doyle Hard and that this isn't just a crazy masochist, but likely an elaborate drug heist perpetrated by the brother of his one-time foe. And it turns out Jake's hunch is right. As soon as the cops were notified of the school threat they moved all of their people to schools and away from monitoring the hospitals and methadone programs. All of the prescription drugs in St. John's were unguarded and practically free for the taking.

Fortunately Jake is able to make the RNC aware of the plan early enough so that they are able to halt many of the dozens of pharmacy robberies that are going on around the city. Due to his quick thinking Jake is able to keep hundreds of kilos of pure Oxy off of the streets and out of the hands of unsuspecting young children.
